As the economy continues to suffer from lower consumer confidence and weaker consumer spending, many believe that the retail sector has taken a beating from these weaknesses. One segment related to retail is eCommerce, an online version of retail that can be seen with companies such as Amazon.com Inc. [AMZN: 78.74, 0.00 (0.00%)], eBay Inc. [EBAY: 14.29, 0.00 (0.00%)], and Barnes and Noble, Inc. [BKS: 23.51, 0.00 (0.00%)]. What many economists and consumers have overlooked is the continued out performance of this segment, especially by the segment leader, Amazon. As of April 13, 2009, Amazon has been up 45.22% year-to-date. Some may say that Amazon is overpriced, but with the company being best of the breed, eCommerce flourishing, and Amazon’s growth opportunities through its product innovations, I will prove why Amazon will continue to strive through 2009.

Tri-Star Holdings, Inc., (TSHL.PK), a newly-formed, diverse holding company based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, was founded with the primary goal of identifying and investing in undervalued companies and technologies with exceptional return potential.

Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp. (NTT), the largest telecom service provider in Japan, announced respectable first quarter fiscal 2009 financial results (ended June 30), well above our estimates. Net earnings improved significantly as a result of reduction of handset subsidies along with an embellished customer pricing strategy at NTT DoCoMo.

Other subsidiaries also generated increasing revenue from IP/Packet communications services. NTT, however, continues to face intense pricing pressure as smaller service providers offer attractive voice, broadband data and mobile services. This, together with ongoing economic weakness in the Japanese market, may limit improved valuation levels over the near-term. We maintain our Hold recommendation on the shares.

NTT is currently trading at 14.4x our fiscal 2009 earnings estimates. This is at a significant discount to both the peer group (other Asian carriers) and the S&P 500 averages. With respect to all other selected valuation metrics, the stock is also trading well below
